Baseplate

Stage III Atlas Base - This carbon injected base is made of Dupont™ Zytel® ST and is guaranteed against breakage with a lifetime warranty.

Dupont™ Zytel® ST - The highest-quality nylon is used on all Union baseplates to result in strength, safety and security.

Injected EVA Bushings - The bushings dampen underfoot vibrations to promote a more comfortable ride and a smooth, even board flex with no dead spots.

Universal Discs

Straps

New Magnesium Buckles and Aluminum Cage - The magnesium in the buckles is four times the strength of aluminum with only half the weight. Plus, it is easily recycled.

Grade 8.8 Hardware - The most commonly used hardware is made from "mild steel" that has a property class of only 4.6. Considering how much stress a binding goes through, Union uses only the highest-strength steel, with a property class of 8.8.

Advanced-Expert

Whether you charge the steepest lines, carve with race-like precision, hit the biggest jumps or halfpipes; advanced to expert level skis/snowboards are for the more aggressive rider. You will often find the addition of layers of metal, carbon, bamboo, or other stringers in these. These features work to make a stiffer ski/snowboard with more power and rebound.

i have been riding union force bindings for a long time and really like what they have done over the years. The Charger was everything I want in a binding. Flex under foot with the plastic tray but super responsive edge to edge. The carbon high back is a nice touch for the guys like me that rely on there high backs to shut it down fast. My only complaint on this binding is how tight my size 9 32 boot fits in the medium/large tray... but tighter is better with bindings.

Very nice set of bindings. These things have a serious highback that is stiff and responsive. The ankle straps are top notch. My only gripe with these (and all Unions) are their lack of a release tab on the toe strap. They work OK regardless, but sometimes take a little fiddling to get them to release. They are fully adjustable, look good without being cheesy. These are a high end binder, but these things are tanks. Recommended for the hard charger who wants a stiff light set of binders.

Good overall binding. Light, stiff, and comfortable. The toe strap releases a bit harder than my other bindings. I bought L/XL bindings, have size 11 burton boots, and have adjusted them as small as they can go. Maybe M/L would fit better.

This is unions stiffest binding and also its most responsive. I had it pair with a Capita TFA and it was such a great ride. The Ladders were efficient and the starps were soft like marshmallows. The carbon highback was very light and very stiff. This binding will handle the biggest of big-mountain lines I'm certain. But it was also fun cruising in spring time slush. I will most likely be buying a pair of these next season. Charge on!
